No room for misinterpretation in British Sign Language team’s work
Yaseen Miah, a 25-year-old multimedia executive, was born deaf into a family in which everyone else could hear. Growing up in a hearing world, both at home and at school, posed challenges for him despite his family’s support and efforts to learn sign language.
Now he is involved in a project that is close to his heart: a video translation of the Qur’an from Arabic directly into British Sign Language—the first initiative of its kind. As the main deaf signer, he is the face of the BSL Qur’an Project.
